Scholastic Storia
Storia is an interactive, educational e-reading application for children to use at home and at school. The free Storia eReading App provides access to a growing collection of thousands of e-books, all carefully selected to ensure a wide range of reading levels and genres. The combination of editor-curated book selections and Storia’s digital tools and features provides children access to hundreds of “just right” e-reading selections.

The Storia e-book library is geared toward children ages 3–14, with customizations for younger and older readers. For example, primary e-books include audio recordings, so the entire e-book can read aloud to a beginning reader, while more experienced readers also can use text-to-speech technology to hear books read aloud.

All Storia e-books come with a set of tools that support learning, including a dictionary feature and note-taking and highlighting tools. And many also include enrichment activities for fun and learning.

Most importantly, the Storia app comes with reports that allow teachers to continually monitor their students’ reading progress.

In this application, children will be presented with one or eight pairs of items and they have to figure out which items rhyme. The best way to play this game with a child is to sit down with them and have them explain to you the reason / thinking of why two items should go together. This way, the game can act as a wonderful interactive tool to develop both language and critical thinking skills.
